4 Claims.
1 This invention :relates to devices generally termed garment markers andemployedby tailors, dress-makers, fitters -and'the like, .as ameasuring apparatus for locating the position for marking the bottom portion :of .a garment such as a dress, coat or the likepwhile the wearer or person being fitted, is standing :inan uptight position. The main purpose of this inventionpis to provide acompact, rigid, :simple, and attrac tive garment marker, which may-Jbeemployed with readyiacilityinmarking .lengths of gar- -ments. -Inpne of its more specificiaspects it is particularly useful in marking the .lengthrof gar- -ments of various 1 thicknesses, such as skirts,
dresses, cloth coats,:fur coats,:.-andthe like.
This application is a continuance, inrpart, of my copending application 568,433, filedNovember 14, 1944, which is now abandoned. Other objects and advantages of the invention-will be readily apparent'from the following description" Fig. '5' is a crosssect-ional'view taken on -line 5-5 of Fi 2.
Fig. 6'is'"a cross sectional ;view taken on-line 6-6 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 7 is across sectional view taken on line ll of Fig. 2.
As shown in the drawing; thenovel measuring device comprises a base). which maybe composed of any desirable material. such as wood, An elongated lfiat supporting standard H is integral with a relatively short flat plate 52 which is located on the upper face of said base it) at the front end thereof. The plate i2 may be secured to the base It by welding, rivets, or any other convenient manner to maintain the standard ll in rigid upright position and at an angle of 90 to the base it. The standard H has an elongated guide and support slot i3 between the ends thereof. The upper part of the standard H is struck out to provide a pair of guide and retaining ears M, the major portion of which are spaced outwardly from the rear face of the standard H, and the free extremities of which are spaced from each other. Guided by the standard I l and supported thereby is an elongated substantial U-shaped rigid :element approximately the same throughout most of its .ness.-.of. leg 18. .central. slot .27 therein. A boltzfi extends through .an opening in the plate"'25 and through the slot .21. .A nut..29, carrying a, finger pin 30 makes 2 l5. The width of the element I5 is length.
The element It comprisesa legit the front face of which is calibratedin inches, a rear ,leg l8 whoselength .is greater than that of the front leg l6, and a crosspiece having a pair of slots I! through whichthe retaining and guide ears M maypass in assembly. The front leg therethrough-and through the elongated slot I3 of..the standard I I. The outer-end of the bolt 19 carries awing nut2ll. Extending across the legs 16 and I 8. and secured thereto, inany convenient manner is. areenforcing and spacer, rod 2!. A supporting plate 22 is pivotally -mounted on axis 23 to the upper endoftthe front leg It. "The rear of theplate22 has a, struck out portioni'z' ldepending at an angle therefrom and servingjto maintain plate 22 parallel to base it! .by hearing against front legllfi as shown in Fig. 2.
of generally rectangular shape. plate '25, Whose width is greater than that ofrear .leg 18,.hasarecess 26 therein. The length of .said slotLZt.isgreaterthan the width of leg l8 MountedJfiat-wise on plate"22 is a plate 25 One end of and .the depth of slot "26 is greater than'thick- The plate 22' has an elongated threaded engagement with the threaded endqof .bolt 28.
.Theoperation of; the devlceis as follows: 'The movable. frame I 5 is located in its lowermostposiv.tionwith the,crosspiecethereof, resting on the base It, and the device is ready for use. The height of the garment line from the floor is determined and the frame 15, is slid upwardly to proper position on the guide standard H, with the nut 2'0, being in loosened condition, and with the pivoted plate 2'2, and associated parts being swung about pivot 23, to its outward position away from leg I3, so that there is an unobstructed space between the legs i6 and it. Then the wing nut 23 is tightened to lock the frame to standard H. The skirt is inserted in the space between the legs is and i8 and the pivoted assembly is swung over on axis 23, as shown in Fig. 2. With garments of thin material the recessed end of plate 25, is used and the finger pin 30, is pressed to turn nut 28, to lock the guide 25 to support 22. As the assembly is swung around axes 23, the outer end of plate 23 engages the garment along the platform guide 25. Then the plate assembly is swung away from the garment, the entire device, or the wearer, is moved, the plate assembly is swung back and garment marked again. The guide plate 25, may be slid to any desired location so as to provide the requisite space between its free or marking end, and the leg 18. It also may be swung around to provide a straight edge with no recess and this end is used generally, in the marking of thick cloths or furs.
While this invention has been described in detail, it is not to be limited thereby, because the same is subject to various changes and modifications within its scope.
